Our process
Our mold after roof leak process in Long Grove, IA
Inspect

Contain
We seal off the ceiling or attic access point before disturbing any mold-affected material.
Remove
Saturated insulation and mold-colonized drywall or decking are removed and bagged for disposal.

It's better to have the moisture assessed as soon as you notice it. Waiting gives mold more time to spread through insulation and framing.
